There be mermaids on this new Pirates of the Caribbean Poster!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Although my days as being labeled AICN's crusty seaman are behind me (minus an "ahoy" here or there, of course), I still drag out the brittle captain's hat and salty language from time to time. Since spotting mermaids off the bow of the Orca this morning I figured it was a righteous occasion!

Speakin' as a Captain, I gotta say it looks like Ol' Jack had his balls clipped a little judging from the early trailers, but I hold out hope for my fellow buccaneer as I haven't disliked a Pirates film yet... maybe felt "meh", but not "I hate this."

I dig the old maritime art feel to this new mermaids poster, though. Very dynamic, sexy and thank God not a bunch of floating heads. What say you, scabs?

No faces and no names equals no sales!
Seriously, it's a shame this is what they do with a poster like this- I love me some classy posters but this thing looks like shit. Terrible placement. Would much rather see what some idiot on slashfilm comes up with with nothing but MS paint and no friends.

In the interest of showing zero side boob the artist has made that top mermaid's head twist round like an owl.
But I guess maybe mermaids can do that?

It would really be great if movies had posters like this that we could buy and hang in a row to make a giant banner...I'd imagine this one being the ride side end. Its fine by itself but other than maybe kick ass i don't think there were others that felt like you could hang them together.

Brings it back to the traditional myth that mermaids, rather than doing song and dance numbers "undah da sea" got their kicks by luring sailors underwater with kisses and promises of much more...then letting them drown.
Seriously, I like it. Like someone above already posted, this ain't Little Mermaid.

not graphic designers. Coz the anatomy in this is FUCKED. I like the poster as an idea but the execution is terrible and there is no excuse for that. There are plenty of very talented artists out there that need work.
Almost every poster for big movies these days is an affront to the eyes.

Yahoo Entertainment said that they will be working on #5 shortly...
Pretty cool... I love these movies...
Growing up as a Star Wars fan... I was 7 years old when Star Wars came out...
I like these Pirates movies over Star Wars now...
I can only watch Star Wars and Empire these days...

Ummm, no.
Those three sisters (I'll include the mother, too) are some of the skankiest looking women I've ever laid my eyes on.
No attractive qualities whatsoever.
These three mermaids?
I wouldn't kick them out of my pool...

They seem positioned in a way that suggests they should be watching the awesome battle going on with the ships in the background.
Instead of watching the action it's almost like some photographer yelled "HEY GIRLS!", they turned around, he snapped their pic and we ended up with this weak poster.

Not a big fan of the style here, but I'm pretty pumped about this movie. Now that they've shed the Will/Elizabeth baggage from the series, I think this franchise has breathing room to kick ass again... even if the poster is less than exciting.
